Get ready for a fresh series of puzzle games from Board&Dice! The first in the line-up is Side Quest: Nemesis, which takes inspiration from the much-loved Nemesis board game universe. This write-up is based on our firsthand experience of the prologue, which provides a fascinating glimpse into how the game functions.
💡 In the Side Quest: Nemesis prologue, players are thrust into a meticulously orchestrated prelude to a grand departure. However, before embarking on this cosmic journey, a number of crucial tasks require completion. This includes the decontamination of crew members, establishing the voyage destination, and successfully initiating the crew’s hibernation procedure for the lengthy trip ahead.
🔐 Every phase of these preparations is dictated by a sequence of four symbols. These symbols can be discovered by applying logic and puzzle-solving skills. The intriguing mechanism to validate the correctness of your symbol sequence is truly one-of-a-kind, adding an innovative twist to the escape game genre we’ve grown accustomed to.
🧩 This system employs a unique set of tiles of varying lengths, each exhibiting distinct connections. From a designated point on the top line, players must connect the four required tiles via these connectors. When the sequence is accurate, the next stage of the puzzle reveals itself on the bottom line. To confirm the sequence, the symbols on the left and right must match accordingly. As players progress through the puzzles, they will eventually encounter a ‘congratulations’ message, signifying the successful completion of the game.
🌌 Side Quest: Nemesis is merely the starting point of an exciting journey through the Side Quest series. Each game intends to plunge into a different universe, promising a varied and immersive gaming experience. The next installment is already on the horizon, ready to dive into the thematic richness of 7th Sea: City of Five Sails.
